WHO Delivers Its First Medical Aid to Gaza Since March 2
GAZA STRIP, JUN 26 – WHO delivered nine trucks with 2,000 blood units and 1,500 plasma units to Gaza hospitals, addressing critical shortages amid ongoing conflict and blockade, WHO said.
- On June 25, the World Health Organization transported nine trucks of essential medical supplies, including blood and plasma, into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, marking the first such delivery since the total blockade began on March 2.
- This delivery followed Israel’s more than two-month total blockade imposed on March 2 amid ongoing military offensive after Hamas’ October 2023 attack on Israel.
- Nine trucks delivered vital medical supplies to Gaza, including thousands of blood and plasma units, successfully transported through the Kerem Shalom crossing without any incidents despite the dangerous conditions.
- The head of the World Health Organization emphasized that the recent shipment of medical supplies represents only a small fraction of what is needed, calling for immediate and unrestricted delivery of aid as just 17 out of Gaza’s 36 hospitals remain functional to some degree.
- The shipment will be allocated to key hospitals struggling to meet urgent needs due to an increasing number of injuries, underscoring the urgent requirement for expanded aid to save lives and ensure continued humanitarian support.
